Interbike 2013: SealSkinz has the Foot Covered

SealSkinzU.K. based SealSkinz headed to the dry desert terrain of Las Vegas to introduce its own U.S. subsidiary and is unveiling its full line to American retailers last week. The company’s line of waterproof yet breathable socks will be heading to America.These handmade socks are filled with water, and if it leaks it won’t make it to your feet.

The Thin Angle Length Sock (left) is 100 percent waterproof and breathable. It has elastic around the ankle for mobility.

The Cycle Over Sock (right) are designed to be ideal for those early morning rides in the wet weather, particularly when it’s cold but these can be also used for everyday commuting just in case the weather turns. These socks are close fitting, yet the highly stretchy material easily slides over cycle shoes and the close, smooth fit means cleaner lines and less wind resistance. These even fold up and can be washed just like a pair of socks – compact and easy to clean.
